Kanye West is known for his famous interruptions and now he knows how it feels to be interrupted.
A fan surprised the rapper by jumping on stage while he was performing his headlining set at the Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. on Saturday.
According to E! News, the man that stormed the stage was comedian Lee Nelson. He performed the stunt “with little to no warning,” completely surprising West.
The comedian, who was wearing a white T-shirt that said “Lee-Zus,” hopped on stage during West’s hit song “Black Skinhead” and even tried to rap along with the rapper using a fake microphone.
In a video captured by a concertgoer, Nelson can be seen trying to mimic Kanye’s movements and trying to engage with the crowd. Kanye acted like a true professional and continued rapping without missing a beat as security quickly escorted Nelson off the stage. He even started the song from the very beginning after Nelson left the stage.
Nelson took to Twitter following his stunt to explain what happened. “Some people were saying Kanye shouldn’t headline Glastonbury so I thought I’d give him a hand,” he wrote.
